Public access television ethnic media appropriation

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal year 2026 to support ethnic media organizations. It funds video content created in languages other than English, with recipients required to make this content available on public, educational, and government access television. The grant program is administered by the Minnesota Humanities Center Board of Directors. This directly affects ethnic media organizations producing non-English language content seeking funding for public access distribution.
